Jumping on a trampoline is one of the best exercises one can ever do.
This simple, rhythmic up-and-down movement involves the participation of every muscle so that it stimulates the whole cell for an amazing healing and rejuvenating effect.
According to CNN, jumping on a trampoline has great benefits compared to other forms of exercise. This involves increasing the G-force or the force created on the body as a result of gravity.

What are the health benefits of diligently jumping on a trampoline?
1. Increase Bone Density
Studies found that jumping regularly on a trampoline can help increase bone density in people of all ages. This activity is also effective in preventing osteoporosis in the elderly, by maintaining bone mass.
Our bones have the ability to become stronger under stress, and otherwise become weaker the less they move. The best way to deal with this issue is to move against gravity.
For example, astronauts can lose up to 15% of their bone and muscle mass during 14 days in zero-gravity space. Thus, jumping on a trampoline is NASA’s main strategy to help rebuild bone and prevent reverse osteoporosis in astronauts.
2. Strengthens Every Cell in the Body
Routinely jumping on a trampoline effectively encourages all 37 trillion cells in the body to move up and down. The gravitational tension and G-Force on each cell cause it to adjust to the increased load by becoming stronger, thereby increasing the cell’s energy and mitochondrial function.
Cell tissue health is fundamental to our total health as humans. When cells don’t function, they become vulnerable to DNA damage. On the other hand, when every cell is functioning optimally and harmoniously, the strength and health of the body is the inevitable result.
3. Helps Detoxify the Body
Jumping on a trampoline can help cleanse the lymphatic system in humans or in other words push toxins out of our bodies.
Vertical jumping movements on a trampoline are more effective in pumping lymph fluid than horizontal movement exercises such as walking and running. Good health depends on our body’s ability to effectively eliminate these toxins.
Thus, regular jumping on the trampoline can support detoxification, so that all parts of the body can continue to function properly, and we also become more youthful.
4. Improve Digestive Function and Intestinal Health
Who would have thought that diligently jumping on a trampoline could be beneficial for digestive health in humans?
This is because it is found that the rhythmic up-and-down movement stimulates contraction and relaxation of the muscles that make up the digestive tract.
Improved digestive peristalsis means the body is able to process and absorb nutrients more efficiently. When the body receives the nutrients it needs, it encourages the availability of the required materials for self-healing and rejuvenation.
In addition, activated peristaltic waves in the intestines also allow food to flow more quickly, which leads to a smoother waste disposal process, or reduces the risk of constipation.
5. Improves Posture, Balance, and Body Coordination
Jumping on a trampoline helps improve balance, coordination, and posture by stimulating the nerves of the eye and inner ear canal.
A study in Brazil and Australia found that regular trampoline jumping is important for improving human balance when falling and reducing the risk of ankle sprains. This is a big help because falls for the elderly can result in fractures or head injuries.
